Lots of room for everyone
Great location! You can get on the highway quickly and getting to the centre is no problem. Lots of room for everyone. Not at all flexible on check-in/check-out times, which was stressful as we were a group of people with different flight times, but overall, it was a good place to stay.

Hello Darkness my old friend
It was clean and walking distance to downtown. But, the best part for our family was it had the best dark shades of any place we stayed. We all got a great night sleep!

Very comfortable house
The house was perfect for our needs. It was very spacious and comfortable. It was warm and welcoming. The house was also well equipped. The only addition I would suggest would be a drier although we actually did not need this for our stay.

Great house just outside of the main city
My friends and I were very pleased with the house. It was perfect for a group of 6 and looked even better than the pictures. The one thing I would caution future travelers is we were charged an additional fee (for staying one night) after we made our initial payment, which we felt obligated to pay as the booking was nonrefundable. Hopefully there will be more transparency in the future.

This is a fantastic home with plenty of room - perfect for our family of five. The two entertaining areas were great and the kitchen very well equiped. The neighboorhood is quiet and there's a beautiful park just down the street. The grocery store was five minutes away and great restaurants only a ten minute drive. Our hosts gave us lots of information about what to do in Iceland and we thouroughly enjoyed our vacation there!

Excellent house in a quiet neighborhood close to all of the action. Clean, comfortable and well equipped kitchen. Two recommendations - The washer was great but no drier was challenging & would have liked the grill to be ready for use but overall a fantastic stay. I would recommend a stay.

Travelled with a group of 8 friends and this place was perfect for us. Close to everything in Reykjavik and the area had many places to walk and enjoy some outdoor activities. It was very easy to communicate with the host and they provided great information about the house and area. Would definitely recommend this place.

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is removed from the center of town but enjoyable to be in a neighborhood with walking paths, soccer fields& space. Marco was extremely communicative and helpful with information about traveling in Iceland. The home was well maintained & comfortable for our family. Thanks!

No trampoline, playstation games or dryer.
This will be my first negative review ever on VRBO but I feel like I had to mention this. My kids were very disappointed when there was no trampoline or games for the playstation as listed in the description. . Also, the owner was not the best when it came to communication. It took several hours to respond when I had questions about the house. This house has no dryer and there is no tv to watch downstairs, only a dvd player with several old movies. I also found it a little odd that there was so many family pictures all of the house. It felt like I was staying in someone’s family home instead of a rental. The washing machine was not user friendly, so it would’ve been nice if there was some instructions to follow being that there were 30 different options on how to wash in a different language. The children’s bikes were very rusted and unusable and none of the bikes had air in the tires. I would be happy to stay here again but only for half the price.

Dear Christa, many thanks for your review. Let me reply, because this is the first time we got some complaints : 1) the trampolines is in the garage and it had to be just assembled, as every guest are doing if they need it 2) playstation is an hardware. , you need of course your own games to play with it.... 3) dryer has never been advertised. we have the washing machine 4)of course the tv is working downstair, just with the national channels and I have informed you about it with my email upon your arrival 5) family pictures in a house are normal. we are an happy family and we are proud of it !! 6) the bikes need always to get air in the wheels and we have a very good pump for it in the garage Regarding the price, you will never find a property of 270 mq at this price and with this great facilities in Reykjavik.. All the other reviews confirm this. We are therefore in total disagreement with your comments , but we are anyway inviting you to come back at any time.. ciao Marco

great size house and great location
Loved the house layout and location,however the house was not very clean at all. The coffee maker was broken, their was mold in the kitchen and upstairs shower. The smoke detector was missing the cover and had no batteries in it!! I was surprised how there was no dishwasher soap. garbage bag liners or any extra towels. Plus, the door knobs were broken on all of the bedrooms upstairs. The address number on the house was missing,too.I felt like this house could have a ton of potential. It just needs some serious cleaning and a few things fixed and repaired.This was our third VRBO in Iceland and it wasn't on par with the other houses even though they were all the same rating .

Dear Gretchen, many thanks for your reccomandations. It is the first time we have a comment about the cleaning of the house, usually our guests are all very happy with it and this has always been a priority for us. Towels were available (2 for each person), if a guest need more of them usually he has to take care of it. Dishwasher soap is a consumable that the customer has to buy, if it finished. We will anyway take in good consideration your comments and I hope to see you again !! marco

ideal location closr to Reykjavik
We stayed at this well appointed house which easily accommodated five adults for four nights. Off road parking and wasy access to the main road made travelling easy. The house is up a small flight of stairs so might not be suitable for the less able paticularly in snowy or icy conditions The owner kept in constant contact to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Iceland being so expensive we chose to eat at home every night cooking in the well appointed kitchen. The whole house was clean and warm despite the snow and ice outside. We would highly recommend this property.

Great house, great host, highly recommended.
I stayed here with a group of friends at the end of September. While we did not have the best of luck with the weather this house made our stay exceptionally enjoyable. As a host Marco was very attentive to details and provided plenty of instruction on house amenities as well as local places and attractions. The kitchen is fully appointed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, neat and comfortable. It was my first visit to Iceland and I want to come back soon. When I do I will definitely try to book this home again.

It was a beautiful home that was very conveniently located
This was the perfect place for my family to enjoy Iceland. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was conveniently located near the highway for ease of travel. Yet, it was still tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was also very helpful with tips on enjoying Iceland. Your money will be much better spent on a home like this than in an expensive hotel chain.

Ein sehr schönes Haus in einer ruhigen Gegend in Reykjavik
Besser hätte wir es für eine Gruppe von 7 Personen nicht treffen können! Ein sehr großes und gut eingerichtetes Haus! Es fehlte an nichts! Ein guter Ausgangspunkt um Ausflüge in die grandiose Landschaft von Island zu machen! Ich würde dieses Haus bei einem Besuch in Island sofort wieder Buchen! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
